Sometimes, I co-author posts with my colleagues, collaboratively writing a draft, and then one of us posts it on Discourse. It would be great if there would be a way to attribute these posts to multiple authors, so that they share the likes received, can all edit the post, etc.

The discussion addresses the feature request for supporting multiple authors on a single Discourse post. Sebastian_Noack proposes this functionality to allow co-authors to share likes, edit posts collaboratively, and receive proper attribution for jointly written content. pfaffman responds by noting that posts are currently owned by a single user, making significant changes difficult. For attribution, pfaffman suggests manually @mentioning each co-author within the post body. However, sharing likes remains unsolvable with the current architecture. Regarding collaborative editing, making the post a wiki is suggested as a workaround, though this risks allowing unintended edits by other users.
satonotdead later contributes by linking to a newer, more specific discussion on “Discourse Wiki Co-editors” on the meta site. This link provides a potential path for users interested in implementing better collaborative tools, even if the original request for multi-author ownership and shared likes has not been directly addressed in this thread.

Posts are owned by just one person & there’s little way to change that.
@mention each author in the message itself.
Not much way to solve that.
All you could do is make it a wiki, but then others might also edit the post.
